The Academic Staff Union of Universities, Kano Zone, has warned that it may resort to industrial action if the governments of Kano, Kaduna and Jigawa states continue to delay the implementation of the 2025 Federal Government-ASUU Agreement in their state-owned universities.
Addressing a press conference at Bayero University, Kano, on Wednesday, the Zonal Coordinator of ASUU Kano Zone, Abdulrazaq Ibrahim, said that while the Federal Government had begun implementing key aspects of the agreement in most federal universities, none of the state-owned universities within the zone had domesticated or implemented the pact.
The Kano Zone comprises Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria; Bayero University, Kano; Kaduna State University; Kano University of Science and Technology, Wudil; Federal University Dutse; Northwest University, Kano; Sule Lamido University, Kafin Hausa; and the Federal University of Technology, Babura.
According to the union, the Federal Government has released funds to settle outstanding five-month arrears covering salary components under the agreement, including the Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance, Professorial Secretariat Administrative Allowance and Earned Academic Allowance.
